Coronavirus Shuts Down The World

The Coronavirus Pandemic has now started to wreak havoc throughout the Western world with multiple countries announcing various draconian measures from shut downs of non-essential parts of the economy to complete lockdowns where citizens are being instructed to stay at home and only to leave to get basic supplies. Australia and New Zealand are a study in contrasts in terms of approach, with the former undertaking a staged shutdown of the economy while the latter has enforced a full lockdown.

Steve and Ben delve deeper in to the ongoing Coronavirus Pandemic and its implication for the world, but also take the time to touch on the release of the new iPad Pro, MacBook Air and the release of iOS 13.4 with cursor support.
